Disclosure Day
★★★½ Liked Watched

Blink-182 broke up and rebanded so that Emily Blunt could bring us closer to disclosure. This might be my favorite performance of hers and Colman Domingo's.

I hope he keeps getting cast as a kind-hearted savant who easefully pushes a mission forward. I'm ready for the aliens to reveal themselves. We might be better of knowing that we're not alone.

Marty, Life Is Short
★★★½ Liked Watched

Marty Short is evidence of how people can turnout when they're loving, wealthy families celebrate them for being a ham. And they join hands with other ffunny friends and serially date talented, hot women.

I was most compelled by the section on Marty's many features that were not hits, how this made him anxious but never deterred him from performing.

Longevity in showbiz very well may come from a willingness to depersonalize people's intermittent disinterest in your work and unwillingness…

Oppenheimer
★★★★½ Watched

it's all still reverberating through me:

Oppenheimer's thumbprint on the rest of human history, the insidiousness of new weaponry and war, the berkely commmunist intelligentsia and the cost of their supposed 'unamericaness,' jean tatlock's words about 'not alienating the people that love you,' the hubris of men who are desperate to top each other and call it 'brilliance'

the massive sounds and unspurling atoms and particles, the capacity we have to destroy each other for sport

Backrooms
★★★★ Liked Watched

Swashbuckling alcoholic men be like "I know a spot" and then take you somewhere that will absolutely derail your entire life.

I loved how the premise lent itself to the shaky film student camcorder footage. That pixelated screen and heavy panting, as terrifying as bespoke 90s furniture, as terrifying as the slipperiness of memory itself!!
